Civility

Tortured by sheer civility Civility tortured by me Duties lie in the world of pain Challenged by poetry Who dies, who lives, who cries for life Meek in emotion for thee Who dies, who lives, who cries for life Death from civility

It's an unfamiliar emotion? to me civility? I'm not sure I don't need lessons in it really. Alot to think about. Light & Love

It's hard being civil? Well, I guess, because of the semantic diffenition of the word civil? I thought Lusciuos Pieces was civil but some didn't (shrug). Light & Love

It's got a good beat. I would write a follow-up explaining what about civility is so horrible; or maybe an attack on rebelion as well. Oh, and welcome to poetry soup.
